Setuptools: RuntimeError: generator raised StopIteration

[jaraco]

I see this error when running Setuptools' tests on Python 3.7:

    def parse_requirements(strs):
        """Yield ``Requirement`` objects for each specification in `strs`

        `strs` must be a string, or a (possibly-nested) iterable thereof.
        """
        # create a steppable iterator, so we can handle \-continuations
        lines = iter(yield_lines(strs))

        for line in lines:
            # Drop comments -- a hash without a space may be in a URL.
            if ' #' in line:
                line = line[:line.find(' #')]
            # If there is a line continuation, drop it, and append the next line.
            if line.endswith('\\'):
                line = line[:-2].strip()

E               StopIteration

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

    def testSimpleRequirements(self):

The issue is an intentional regression introduced in Python 3.7 as part of PEP 479.
